Restaurants + Fast Food Should Be Required By Law To Post Calorie Counts, Nutrition Facts, And Ingredients With All Their Meals
Just want your opinion.

People do have a right to know the calories and fat in whatever they are ordering. It is true that the servings served are way over what they should be and I think if they showed people the nutritional info on the food offered, people wouldn't be as obese as they are, but then restaraunts and fast food places would make less money. I know some places do have the info if you ask. Or be prepared and google the calories of certain places foods before you go. I have found just about everything I have ordered online. They even have a fast food one.

Yes they should. People have a right to know the nutritional information for what they are eating. Perhaps if people could see just exactly how much fat and calories are in what they are eating they will choose healthier options!

Yes because if you don't look at the bottom of the box which most don't you wouldn't know that a big mac has 510 calories or whats in it for allergie reasons

This is a good idea.
If people are interested about what is in these fast-food products, then they should have the right to know.
Then maybe, the horrifying information will deter some people.
With all these allergies running around, quite a few people need to check the ingredients.

If products sold in supermarkets must post accurate nutritional information, and must even follow a strict format in most countries, then it would probably make sense for restaurants and fast food chains to be required to abide by the same standards. One of the most compelling reasons for this is the fact that many North Americans actually consume more calories during the day by eating out, than through homemade meals or snacks. For example, if you eat a Big Mac trio, including a super-sized soft drink and fries, you will have most likely consumed well over half your ideal daily calorie in-take without even noticing it. Even worse than this is the fact that in some sit-down restaurants, you will consume close to your maximum number of recommended calories by simply eating an appetizer, let alone a main course.

It makes good sense to require restaurants to post nutritional information on all their meals, as this might convince customers to reconsider whether or not they really need to order a super-sized meal the next time they stop by McDonald's.

I agree you already know its bad, and they all do post it somewhere, i had to run around town and get all of the local fast food joints nutrition things for a project they're mostly on the back of those little paper things you get under your food when they give you a tray
